“What is your own nature practice? Because if you don't have your own relationship with nature and earth - how on earth are you even going to think about integrating into any aspects of your life?” ~ Tabi Jayne, Nature Trainer and Coach

Founding Director of Earthself, a community interest company Tabi Jayne joins Alex and Anna-Marie from her shed office on her allotment in Scotland for the first Coaching Outdoors Podcast conversation in series eight. Set against the back-drop of the local hills that influence her relationship with nature and Scotland she shares her stories and wisdom.

Our conversation is influenced by her encyclopaedic knowledge amassed over the last decade. She has tirelessly studied how to harness Earth’s intelligence to transform organisations and improve employee wellbeing, performance and productivity as well as enhance organisational sustainability and innovation. From biomimicry to the circular economy; systems thinking to transformation and beyond.

She dives into how she’s tweaked the International Coach Federation (ICF) definition of coaching to include Earth and nature, introduces a systemic lens on sustainable and resilient organisations, and openly discusses how her recent autism diagnosis has created a more authentic relationship with herself and how coaches need to understand neurodiversity within their coaching. She also raises some hard hitting questions for organisations (and us all!) to face up to about our relationship with nature.

“I do feel this is the start of a new movement” – James Farrell

Following the huge success of the inaugural Coaching Outdoors Live event on the beautiful grounds of Henley Business School, three of the workshop facilitators joined Anna-Marie the following morning to reflect on the event.

Diana Tedoldi posed some great questions to Toby Cowern, James Farrell, Anna-Marie and herself.

They reflected on the biggest insights and learning they took from the event, how the event has started a movement and what the future holds for Coaching Outdoors.

Toby used the metaphor of a boulder “Some events are seminal... I think this was less seminal and more seismic, we threw a big old boulder and it made a big splash.”

James shared “The overall sense I was left with was just the hunger for, the interest for, people working in this space and the diversity of approach.”

Diana spoke of embodiment “Our brain, our system needs connection... I love embodied things like in person, so this is one of the real values I got from this.”

And Anna-Marie said that many people at the event described it perfectly as finding their Tribe “and it was a relief. It was a visceral, embodied “wow, yes, I’ve found my Tribe”

Enjoy their reflections on the event and please share your reflections on the event and your key take aways on our LinkedIn community page here https://www.linkedin.com/company/coaching-outdoors-podcast/

More videos and photos will be shared from the event, so watch this space.

Thank you once again to all the workshop facilitators, the event planning team at Henley and all our amazing attendees.

“When you go up on a peak you have a great perspective. When you stand on top of that… it’s just the serenity, it’s like wow. And you can look so far. It gives you a very different perspective on life.”

Dr Oliver Wirths, based in Zurich, Switzerland, may have the most unique outdoor coaching technique we have discovered yet!

Oliver puts his qualifications as an alpinist to great use, taking his clients on journeys of self-discovery and change through the alpine forests and up into the mountains, to gain new perspectives and challenge their status quo. At the end of these alpine adventures, Oliver offers his clients the opportunity for the ultimate challenge, to paraglide in tandem with him back down to the base of the mountain. Bringing a whole new dimension to outdoor coaching…..flying!

Oliver’s journey has taken him from gaining a PhD in Economics and working in Strategy for Lufthanza, to qualifying as a coach and joining ONEDAY as an Outdoor Leadership coach.

Oliver shares many really insightful stories, explaining the benefits some of his clients have gained from spending time in the stunning scenery of the Alps; challenging themselves, learning how to relinquish control, trusting themselves and having fun, as well as what sort of skills and qualifications are needed to offer his unique blend of coaching.

If you'd like to join us for a truly immersive outdoor experience, with some of the leading names in outdoor coaching, why not come along to the inaugural Coaching Outdoors Live event in partnership with Coaching at Henley Business School on 12th July 2024.
